The data collection instrument was a questionnaire of 11 (eleven) questions, answered by all, in which we were able to learn about the reasons why these individuals sought the water gymnastics classes, changes in sleep quality before and after the beginning of the practices, taking medications, the benefits that the classes were bringing and how they evaluate the classes offered by the project. The instrument of data analysis was content analysis. The results point out that, most of those who are looking for water aerobics classes, do so aiming for an improvement in health and that improvement is one of the main benefits mentioned by them, especially when it comes to pain.
